BMW 750iL
Featured in Tomorrow Never Dies, the "Bulletproof Beemer" came equipped with a security system that would deliver electrical shocks via the door handles to would-be thieves unless
disarmed by Bond's Ericsson mobile phone.
The car also had a security compartment in the glove box that wouldn't allow anyone access without Bond's (played by Pierce Brosnan) fingerprint; in the movie, it was used to house Bond's Walther PPK and the red box which contained Carver's GPS System Scrambler. The 750iL could be remotely driven and controlled via Bond's Ericsson phone, which opened up to show an LCD screen displaying the driver's view of the car. Weapons and defense systems included unguided explosive rockets mounted in a hidden hatch in the roof which replaced the car's standard sunroof, self-sealing and re-inflating tires, a retractable cable-cutting device mounted underneath the front hood emblem, tear gas sprayers, and caltrops that dropped from a dispenser hidden behind the extendable rear bumper to shred the tyres of any following cars.
Features: Ballistic bulletproof armoured body panels, bulletproof and impact-proof glass all round (although a 40mm Grenade projectile fired from a rifle launcher wielded by one of Carver's henchmen managed to pierce and hole the front windscreen, but not shatter it), security system which electrocutes intruders through the door handles unless disarmed by Bond's Ericsson mobile phone, security glovebox with fingerprint scanner, can be driven and controlled completely remotely by Bond's Ericsson mobile phone, retractable cable-cutter, tear gas sprayers, and a rear-mounted caltrop dispenser.
Current Condition: Hopefully the Avis car rental people managed to fix the dents and scratches Bond inflicted on the poor car after sending it off the top of a 5 (?) storey garage right through the door of an Avis office (literally!).
